kimberly tere, nbc bay area news. >> thank you. we have new information tonight in the search for a killer in the south bay, as well. police in san jose say they found the body of 50-year-old troy navenzo this afternoon, the day after police say he killed his wife. they found him in his car parked on the side of the road on highway 12 the south of gilroy. they believe he committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. his wife, patricia, was found yesterday in the couple's home in south san jose. they're not revealing the cause of death but said someone had called 911 around 5:30 in the morning and then hung up. the couple had been married for 27 years. family members say they had been going through marital problems, but nothing they thought would lead to this. we have an update now on a situation involving a plane from the bay area. here's video of the runway at denver national airport. you see it's very wet there. apparently a southwest jet from oakland holding 125 passengers

landed a few hours ago. when the temperatures were just dropping below zero. as the plane was taxiing to the gate, it slid off the runway. here's a leak at the radar and weather condition at the time of the accident. you see that snow was increasing in the denver area at the time. no injuries were reported there, and by the way, it was flight 1905 from oakland. here in the bay area, we saw freezing temperatures overnight, as well. and more to come tonight. that's after record highs just a couple of days ago. remember that -- meteorologist rob mayeda joins us with a look. yeah, we've had this incredible swing of weather fortune in the last five days. we started the week with those 80s and high pressure just locked in over the west coast. here's the reason why we've seen extremes. you had high pressure built in. notice the jet stream way to the north. that's the ultimate in dry and warm weather. now we have the complete opposite pattern. that cold system that brought snow to mt. hamilton and rain across the bay area bringing the heavy snow into denver, it's pumping in cold, canadian air.

with our clear skies tonight and light winds, frost advisories up through 8:00 tomorrow across the north bay inland valleys into solano county, by the delta. and our inland east bay valleys, alameda and contra costa counties, you see temperatures dipping to the mid 30s. coldest locations likely to be around santa rosa where we'll get at least a couple of hours in the low 30s. a reminder as we get into this time of year, bring in the pet from outdoors on nights like this. protect the temperature-sensitive plants, and protect those outdoor pipes, too. we could see problems with that as temperatures dip into the low 30s. so that's the story tonight. the bigger picture looking at the seven-day forecast is going to include plenty of opportunities for some rain. we'll let you know if that's going to impact the rest of our veterans day weekend coming up in the full forecast in a few minutes. diane? >> all right. speaking of pipes, the cold temperatures are being blamed for a water main break in palo alto early this morning. nbc bay area's monty francis has a look at what happened. hello, monty. >> reporter: good evening. it was apparently a rapid change

in temperature that caused this eight-inch water main to break. tonight homeowners are resting easy, but that was not the case just a matter of hours ago. it was about 35 degrees when the pipe burst at about 2:00 this morning on newel road between channing avenue and embarkadero road. the streets were rushing with water and many homeowners spent the early morning hours watching as crews worked to fix the broken pipe. there was one home on newell road that was flooded by the water. the people who lived there spent the morning cleaning up. >> the water rose a half an inch in my house, part of the house. we're trying to resolve that issue. today, went on until 6:00 in the morning. right now they're drying everything out, that's what's going on. >> reporter: there's no word on how much damage was done to the home. crews dug up and took out the damaged pipe and replaced it with a new section of pipe, and water service was restored to residents at about 11:30 morning. this could end up being an issue for other neighborhoods across the bay area because i'm told that sudden change in

temperature can cause problems or pose a risk for old pipes that already are in need of repair. live in palo alto, monty francis, numbebc bay area news. critics say it's a free pass to get out of jail. california voters passed prop 36 changing the three strikes policy. now thousands of prisoners who have weak third strikes might soon be set free, and their loved ones are waiting open arms. we have one family's emotional story. i want my brother to know that we love him, that we're waiting for him, and i can't wait to see my mom's arms around him. and when he's home, our family will be complete. >> reporter: elizabeth cruz says her family finally has hope. the passage of proposition 36 means her brother, robert john cruz, may be getting out of prison. cruz is serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug possession

mission artifacts on the west coast. armstrong died on august 25 of this year. and right now we are going to check in with rob mayeda on the weather. it is pretty nutty going from record highs to freezing temperatures in, what, two days. >> yeah, it seems like it. we had 70s and 80s tuesday, almost to wednesday. now we can only manage highs in the upper 50s to near 60. look at the numbers, already 40s in the north bay, the locations, santa rosa, novnovato, fairfiel dipping to the 50s. 49 around half moon bay. notice the wind, a little bit of a sea breeze. and i think across the water of the inner bay you'll still see numbers in the 40s there. closer to the water, not as cold. our inland valleys, that dry air and clear sky tonight, you will see the numbers dipping into the 30s. low to mid 30s for, say, tomorrow morning and late tonight. right now, the radar view of the bay area looks dry. we still had stray showers right around salinas and gilroy this afternoon. now that the sun has set, those are starting to subside. also subsiding, the snow showers

in the sierra. we had a lot of snow, as low as pollock pines on highway 50 this morning and near baxter on interstate 80. you see how the moisture is leaving the sierra. yosemite, snow earlier, around the higher peaks. that is transitioning toward the reeks. so high pressure building -- the rockies. so high pressure building in. we'll see a cool day tomorrow at candlestick. low 60s. mixed clouds for the afternoon. cooling by 3:00. speaking of the clouds, futurecast will show through tomorrow, looking at mid and high level clouds. notice no rain underneath the clouds yet. take a close look here at monday and tuesday. for the far north bay, toward santa rosa, monday into tuesday, looks like mendocino county, northern sonoma county, could see light rain. the jet stream not quite down to the bay area. just close enough to us that the farm north bay may see showers early in the week. then the rest of the bay area by wednesday and thursday will see the rain return and temperatures cool down again. speaking of cool tonight, we've got some low 30s in the north

bay, santa rosa, sonoma, low 30s for overnight. mid 40s around san francisco and oakland. san jose, upper 30s. some of the coldest temperatures right down there toward gilroy, south of morgan hill. low 30s across the north bay, patchy frost and a frost advisory for inland valleys of the north bay and inland east bay through 8:00 tomorrow morning. low 60s for highs tomorrow. despite the chilly start and the filtered sunshine at times with the high clouds, not a bad sunday afternoon. partly cloudy skies, low to mid 60s around the tri-valley. upper 50s closer to san francisco. low 60s in oakland, and low 60s around the north bay which, by the way, again as we pointed out, monday into tuesday could see showers to the north. the temperatures coming up a bit. the warmest days of the week look to be monday into tuesday and then wednesday we're going to see that system drop down the coast. that will bring us the chance of seeing rain. i think wednesday night and thursday the entire bay area will see some rain once again. showers easing up a little bit into friday. then the pattern looks pretty active now.

typical for this time of year. systems coming in every three to four days. not as cold as what we went through. this time next weekend looks like low rain coming back. none of those 70s and 80s. looks like we're done with the roller coaster seven-day forecast for a while, now in and out of opportunities for rain. >> that was totally crazy. even for us, that does not -- >> it is. the extremes in five days' time. >> nice skiing perhaps? >> boreal today, a foot and a half of now snow. thanks.
